KNAPP AeroBot Review Summary
The AeroBot system has no lifts, conveyors or shuttle levels in the rack. Each robot, 70 by 50 by 40 cm, travels lengthwise and crosswise on the floor beneath the racking and climbs vertically by friction drive to any location up to 12 m. A satellite robot on board, the SatBot, reaches into the rack to take or place a load carrier, up to four deep. Capacity grows by adding robots, and the system can start with one. Rack lines of different heights can stand in one aisle, which suits buildings with uneven ceilings.
Pros
No lifts or conveyors in the rack

Scales by adding robots

Who It Is For
